Cherry Hill....my kind of camping!

Summertime....stuff going on every single weekend. I LOVE it!!! This weekend we went with my family to Cherry Hill. We actually camped out there, which we have never done before. Unfortunately for me I still had to work a half day on Saturday. So I missed out on some of the fun, but what do you do. I just have some Saturdays off coming up that I didn't feel like I could ask for this one off too. Kinda hard to work just one day a week and keep asking for it off, you know what I mean.


We got there Friday night and set up camp and all that. Excuse Lincoln in this picture, he looks a little crazy. It was cute of me and Tanner though. My kids look like orphans in alot of these pictures, so beware. Camping, swimming, and no mom around does that to you.


Yep, thats right. Here is Lincoln eating paper. Thiago and I were setting up our tent, and as you can see we weren't paying a whole lot of attention to the little guy.




We celebrated Tanner's 8th birthday while we were there. I just have to say to my little buddy....WE LOVE YOU!! Happy, happy birthday. We are so proud of the little guy that you are. You set such an awesome example for my 2 boys to follow. You are just everything a little boy is supposed to be, and we could not love you more. So happy birthday.


Getting some snuggle time in before bed.




Snug as a bug in a rug. Sorry family to all of you that could hear Carson telling us his version of bedtime stories. From what I could tell he was talking about alot of crashes and falling, a goofyramp (whatever that is) and people making him nervous. Seriously, where does this kid come from.


Next morning, Thiago and I woke up early so he could drive me home. I had to get showered and ready for work. He went back up to camp, to have fun without me. Here is Ash feeding the babies breakfast. Thanks so much Ash, for all of your help. Thiago says he couldn't have done it without you.


Everybody else was up and going by about 8:00. Not this boy. Finally rolled out of his tent at 10:30, what a kid. Loves his sleep.



Kids all spent the day swimming of course.



I got there that afternoon. Just in time to go miniature golfing. FUN...all the kids loved this. Usually we have one or two that aren't interested in whatever activity we are doing. We finally found something that everyone likes. They had so much fun and were so cute. Mr. Brev even got a hole in one.



Every Saturday night at Cherry Hill they have a free concert. My uncle Steve and his little band "Bishop Rock" performed that night. My uncle used to be the bishop in their ward and for a ward talent show they started this little band. They are actually quite good, and people keep asking them to perform. So they did.


Such a fun memory for our kids. They ran around, danced, sang, clapped their hands, played with the other kids there at the concert. Just a perfect night to be a kid. Made me think of those careless summer nights when I was a kid. Love to watch my boy run and laugh and just have fun. Makes me happy that he leads such a happy, content little life. Glad we can give him that.


Thiago's parents came that night for the concert. Which of course made my Lincoln Bujaou happy. Loves his Vovo. Sound asleep the minute his grandpa took him. So sweet!


Thanks family for the fun time. We loved every minute of it, and will look back on this weekend with some happy memories.

Good Ol' Summertime...

Oh, what do you do in the summertime when all the days are long...




Oh, just all kinds of things...that is what is so great about summer. Carson's new favorite activity is sidewalk chalk. We were goofing around the other day, and I drew a little picture of our Cano family. He loved it...needless to say, I have now drawn many. He just can't get enough, although he makes me add dogs to the picture. I tell him no way, no how. We include them in the picture, but that is about as close as this family will ever get to owning a dog.


TA-DA...woowoo, we are one good-lookin family!


Baby boy discovering grass for the first time. He didn't mind it, just kinda sat there. Just like this.



Watch out people here he comes...lovin this bike!



Just what does our dear ol' dad do while the rest of us play....


We put him to work cleaning the garage. Thanks honey!


Of course dad got a little carried away with the hose, here is Carson after getting "accidently hit" many times. Kept trying to get me, but I am to quick for him.


Couple little odds and ends...Cars has now moved up to the booster seat. You are supposed to be 30 pounds in order to make the move. My nephew has been in this kind of carseat for a year now. Well Carson just now graduated. Technically he is only 29 pounds, but his doctor said he was close enough. Very cool...right my boy.



And he sits!!! Don't look too close at that nose though, that was from an unfortunate topple this morning. Poor little guy, had a run-in with Lightning Mcqueen. No worries though, his falls are few and he is really quite sturdy now on his own. Good job, baby Bujao!

Proud to be an American!

Happy 4th everyone...what a great day! Any day that we get to celebrate our freedom and the good ol' United States of America is pretty much awesome. I love the feeling of united patriotism and looking around at all the red, white, and blue. Makes me proud to be an American. I know our country isn't perfect and we have our problems, but if you ask me when all is said and done it is a pretty great place to live. So may God continue to bless this great land and those that lead us and fight to protect us. Ok, enough said.


Oohh, cuteness. Me and my boys!


Had ourselves some surf n swim fun! I was pretty worried for a second there with those dark skies and scattered clouds. Rained on us for about 20 minutes is all, and then there came that beautiful sun. It was perfect weather, perfect amount of people. Tons of fun!







I've got some little fishies on my hands. My kids LOVE water, love it, love it. Both of them. Carson pretty much has no fear, I had to watch this kid like a hawk. He just takes off, doesn't care who he is with, how deep out he goes, whether he has a tube or not. Made me crazy. When it came time to go home, I had to pull him out kicking and screaming. Oh well, I am glad he is a healthy, active little boy who enjoys this kind of thing. As for Lincoln, he just sat there and pounded those chubby little fists in the water all afternoon. At one point Carson did a total flip in his tube and I had to run over to him. I jumped up fast and knocked Lincoln over. Lincoln topples down in the water, comes back up and doesn't even make a peep. Looks around for a second and goes back to playing. I tell ya, little fishies.








Tuckered out little kids, taking a small break why us moms got the lunch together.


Went home and both my kids took a 2 hour nap. Heaven!! After that we showered and got ready then headed over to the Layton fireworks. We spent the day and night with all of our Brazilian friends and family. They are all so much fun.


Pop-its!



Yummy face Lincoln, whats for dinner?



Carson gettin some love from the little ladies.





Like I said great day, one of our bests.
